God fought for His people and gave the city to them. It was clear from thebeginning that it was God’s power, not Israel’s strength, that would give them the land.Just as the Lord defeated Jericho for the Israelites, Jesus defeats His enemies and leadsbelievers into the promised land of eternity.Help your kids connect how God defeated Israel’s enemies with how Jesus defeated ourgreatest enemy: sin.
